To determine the suitable mounting location of the wind turbine in building arrays with area density of 26%, 20%, 18%, 16% and 14%, respectively, wind velocity and turbulence intensity over the aligned building arrays with flat roof were simulated via the computational fluid dynamic （CFD） method. Results from this investigation shown that within the height range of less than 1.5H, the larger the area suitable for installing wind turbines at the same installation height with the higher area densities in the building arrays, which is more conducive to the application of wind energy in the building arrays; Meanwhile, For the height is higher than 1.5H, the influence of the area density on location of wind turbine can be ignored; When the height is lower than 1.2H, it is not suitable to install wind turbines in the building arrays with five area density. Moreover, for the height is higher than 1.45H, wind turbines should be installed on the top of the middle row of buildings in the building arrays, while the corner of the rooftop are the best installation locations; In addition, the installation location of wind turbines can be determined by only considering the wind speed in the building arrays with five area densities.
